I’m trying to use Javascript to access data from http://www.bart.gov/dev/eta/bart_eta.xml , however, I found out that I cannot do that unless I have a copy of that page on my server. How can I make a proxy page on my server that is an exact copy of http://www.bart.gov/dev/eta/bart_eta.xml ?

Use subject to terms at http://www.bart.gov/dev/schedules/license.htm" ["copyright"]=> string(86) "Copyright (C) 2012 San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District. All rights reserved." ["date"]=> string(10) "07/01/2012" ["time"]=> string(15) "02:52:39 PM PDT" } ["station"]=> array(44) { [0]=> object(SimpleXMLElement)#3 (5) { ["name"]=> string(12) ...

    Put the following file on your server bart_eta_proxy.php for example, and try to access it.

    header("Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8");
echo file_get_contents('http://www.bart.gov/dev/eta/bart_eta.xml');

    and here you go, it’s working:
